ESCATEC - Medical Device Development and Design

ESCATEC Switzerland is a Swiss electronic competence centre, specialised in the electronic development and design of medical devices. Further services offered by ESCATEC are mechanic design, Micro Opto Electronic Mechanical Systems (MOEMS), test engineering and rapid prototypes.

MEDICAL DEVICE PRODUCTION

Our wide range of services encompass the entire value chain from hardware and software development through to mass production. On the front end, we offer quick-turn design, prototype production, test development, tool design, tool making and New Product Introduction (NPI) services, helping you bring your product to market on time, fully certified and on target.

When you ramp up to high volumes, we offer the same quality services, but in a highly competitive Asian mass production environment. From one unit to ten million, from product concept through end of life, from Europe to Asia to North America., ESCATEC is your ideal manufacturing partner.

TWIN STREAM RESPIRATOR

The Twin Stream respirator has two respiration sections that can operate separately or simultaneously (jet ventilation) and an enormous performance spectrum. This product is capable of breathing for a range of patients, from tiny newborn babies up to morbidly obese patients.

EXPLOSION-PROOF MEDICAL PRODUCTS

ESCATEC is certified in ISO 9001:2003, in EN 13485:2003 for medical device development and manufacturing, as well in the ATEX standard EN 13980:2002 which permits manufacture category "m" safety products. These must operate in an intrinsically safe manner in areas with explosion risk.

ESCATEC has experience with approval specifications, which are needed to introduce a medical product to the market like Tüv, Sa, CE, FDA, FCC and UL. ESCATEC supports and guides his customers through all this demands.

As a one-stop EMS company and an industry leader, we pride ourselves on being able to offer the full range of manufacturing services that you might expect of a global tier-one EMS - while offering the focus and flexibility of a medium-sized, privately held company.

CUSTOMISED MEDICAL DEVICE ASSEMBLY AND PACKAGING

With manufacturing operations ranging from prototyping, to PCB assembly, plastic injection moulding, metal stamping, coil winding, component assembly, subassembly, box build, a full range of test methods, and customised packaging, you can rely on us as your fully integrated manufacturing partner.

If desired, we also take on the final assembly of your products including packing and shipment. By means of our presence close to your customers, this type of co-operation offers logistical and ecological advantages.

MEDICAL DEVICE PROJECT MANAGEMENT

ESCATEC works according to a standardised New Product Introduction (NPI) process, which describes all work processes from the idea of a product up to its volume manufacture.

Purpose of this process:

• Serves as a tool for the achievement of the strategic goals
• Guarantees an efficient handling of the individual projects
• Minimises the risk of a project cancellation/termination
• Ensures the high quality of the developed products
• Makes fast and uniform handling of all projects possible
• Ensures a clear communication between the departments

MEDICAL PRODUCT RISK ANALYSES

With pre-studies ESCATEC makes sure the key functions and key-out puts. Also creates ESCATEC a specification sheet with risk analysis (create the medical product document.)
